Up to €3.72m. paid to Mayo businesses in energy supports

A total of 982 Mayo businesses availed of the government's Temporary Business Energy Support Scheme (TBESS).

They received a total of €3.72 million in an initiative designed to help businesses to cope with increases in their electricity or natural gas costs arising from the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The scheme fell within the terms of the EU Temporary Crisis and Transition Framework.

The scheme ran from September 1, 2022, to July 31, 2023, and the final deadline for eligible businesses to submit claims for relief was September 30, 2023.

The scheme is now closed.

Over €145 million has been paid out by the Department of Finance to 31,309 businesses across the country.
